VoIP Best Practices Audio quality can vary based on your audio software, hardware manufacturer and operating system. When using VoIP, the following best practices are recommended: As with any online meeting solution, it is important to test your sound quality and audio settings before your live meeting. In addition to testing your audio settings from the GoToMeeting Audio pane, we recommended that you start your meeting ahead of time with a few test attendees so they can provide feedback on your voice quality. For optimum sound quality, a headset is recommended, preferably a USB headset for ease of use. If a headset is not available, a microphone and speakers are required, preferably a USB microphone for ease of use. If using a microphone, it should be at least 1.5 feet away from any speakers that are built in or connected to your computer. Using your webcam s microphone is not recommended. If you plan to record your meeting, be sure to start your meeting ahead of time and test the Recording feature. 6. To join the audio portion of the meeting via mic & speakers 1. Expand the Audio pane in your Control Panel. 2. Select Use Mic & Speakers (b) 3. You will be automatically connected into the audio conference over VoIP. Al-Hassan IT Department 2
